    And now have a temporary home

    SotC collection is coming along.
    TTYsRrR.jpg
    I replaced my old tattered version with a much better copy. Complete and minty inside with all the art cards and unmarked disc.
    Also the US version(Greatest Hits :(), sealed Jap soundtrack and the Nico DVD that was part of the Jap pre-order of the game.



    Feck it, why not :)
    I wanted one of these for ages.

    Few PC Engine games. Particularly happy with the condition of Gradius.

    US Jag
    bRJ8IyM.jpg
    Sold as not working and without pads or PSU for very little money. Will try out a PSU on it if I can find a compatible one at home. Also some new lens covers for Nomads in the pic.


    New old stock Game Boy DMG-01 shell, lens, buttons and screws.

    Wasn't sure if these were actually going to be the real deal or dodgy repo ones. They are legit, will order a few more, just to have :)

    If possible, can you stick me down for one & I'll contribute to the postage costs? How much are they Steve?

    Edit - Or even just fire us up a link to them if possible & I'll order myself :)

    Was in a hypermarket in Dol et Bretagne and spotted the games section.
    Sadly pretty much everything was regular price or worse, but I did see a bargain rack of assorted titles and was very pleased to find Fire Emblem:Awakening on the 3DS for a pocket pleasing €20.
    Not at the rock bottom price of the great Tesco sale of 2014, but not bad, and satisfies my gaming grá for the holiday.
    Also, it looks very nice and sharp on the 2DS, as Cidonalad ignores the Gallic surroundings and plays Shovel Knight on the N3DS instead!

    I'll have a bunch of them coming in on the slow post from China. So will let you know when they land and we can sort it out. Postage is free anyway :)

    They are £8.99 sterling each.

    A link to the shell, if possible. Have a brown GB that could do with a facelift.

    Linky linky for all.
    They don't come with the battery contacts, so you'll need to transfer from an older Game Boy, or find one that will work elsewhere.

    Top man.

    Tell me more about that Nico DVD. Presumably relating to Ico and not one of Seagal's finest films? :pac:

    http://teamico.wikia.com/wiki/%22Nico%22_bonus_DVD

    The Nico bonus DVD was a preorder bonus for those who reserved their copy of Shadow of the Colossus in Japan. The eponymous Nico concept video was included as part of the bonus content that came with The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection; none of the other sections included on the Nico DVD were included.

    The DVD features the first-ever footage of Shadow of the Colossus, back when the game was simply called "Nico" (a combination of ni, the Japanese word for two, and Ico). The trailer features several horned boys resembling Ico, on horseback pursuing a colossus (whose design would eventually resemble Quadratus in the final game). The battle is hard-fought, but eventually one of the boys manages to climb atop the creature and defeat it. With the colossus dead, the group rides off into the horizon.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Colossus#Japanese_packaging
    With a team of thirty-five people, Shadow of the Colossus began development in 2002 under the project name Nico (a portmanteau of "Next Ico")[47] and was intended to be a sequel to Ico.[4][48] An early technology demo for the project shown at the DICE Summit in 2003 depicted a group of masked, horned boys riding horses while attacking and defeating a colossus.[4][48] However, Fumito Ueda expressed that, at the time, it was simpler to reuse the character design of Ico's protagonist, and that he never explicitly desired a sequel to Ico.[49] Japanese pre-orders of Shadow of the Colossus later included a bonus DVD with the concept video, a trailer describing Nico's plot, and an introduction the development team states they wanted to use in Shadow of the Colossus.

    I wish :)
    Just a regular PS2, they didn't do a pink auto version.
    I have a Yellow auto PS2 in storage though, not many of them about(very limited run).

    yeah, I nearly bought a yellow one off adverts, sorta regret not pulling the trigger.

    iirc, they made 666 of each colour for the European market.

    Yeah, 666 of each colour for each market (Euro, USA and Japanoland). And a couple of spare ones for demos and show displays I think.

    Actually, i have a faulty PAL UK Saturn here. Dodgy laser, but the PSU is fine.
    Is there any site that lists which UK/Euro Saturan psu's can go in the various Jap Saturns?

    Below is details for the new saturn and my faulty one, can I swap?
    New Jap one:

    One being 12w & the other being 20w would indicate they're quite different, unless I'm mistaken?

    I've always wondered about the everdrive, can it play 60hz games without modding your PAL megadrive?
